Harman11's Reviews > The Charwoman's Shadow

After seeing this selection in my father's reading carel I asked him about the author in order to decide if it might be worth my time to read this title. His classic response sounded like the same standard recommendation that you'll see anytime you look up Lord Dunsany. Since I was curious about the fantasy genre, I picked it up and was carried away into one of the most enriching fantasies that I have ever read. I'm recommending this to everybody that has even a few hours to spare for this engaging story. The wording that the author chooses is extremely well constructed and requires the reader to stretch a little in the best way, in order to see a world of characters that we don't get to visit very often. The author's well deserved accolades from a century ago might tax the casual reader, but the construction of the stories that he creates earned him universal praise from authors around the world for his storytelling and the imagination he employed.
